I'm hoping I can find these at Walmart on Thursday (I live in the middle of nowhere, but there seems to be at least one other person who always beats me to them!) so I can try my luck with a few packs. I got a Gusting Grimoire from the last TCG set, but otherwise I've never found anything decent so I usually just buy the cheap pets on Ebay.

Sidenote: One thing that I recently learned about TCG packs and boxes is that stores will cherry pick the packs with loot cards inside. Because many of the loot cards have foil, it makes them heavier so packs with loot cards in them weigh slightly more. People who open the boxes can weigh them and then keep/buy the ones with loot cards inside and place the ones without on the shelves for regular customers.

To avoid getting screwed over, it's safer to buy sealed boxes rather than individual packs. Have to make sure that the boxes are sealed, though or else it defeats the purpose. ^^;

I had no idea that this was the common practice and it definitely makes me rethink whether or not I should go for a pack/box.

I was thinking of that when they announced the ´god packs´.. Those things will have a huge $$ value, I am sure the store nerds know all about them.

Gosh, ye, i've heard that in the past indeed. However, i've bought about 30 of those booster packs, and like stated in one of my previous posts it did contain loot cards... So it's really hard to say whether this particular shop does weigh the packs...

How many booster packs are in those boxes you can buy? Because perhaps i should try that one (even tho i can't remember whether they've even got those boxes available or not)

I wish I had any desire for the regular game cards, because I definitely would buy some. And although I love gambling, paying $90 or more for a box with no idea if it will be worth it is too much for my budget right now.

Yeah I think that if you're going to invest that much money into the cards, there should be some sort of guarantee that you'll get something worthwhile.
